Sunny Ridge, along with the county, was forced to contact state officials since they will immediately need personal protective equipment (PPE) and additional assistance as they are forced to quarantine or isolate at least 30 of its staff members.
According to county officials, on April 2nd, the State Emergency Operations Center sent a shipment of PPE, which included n95 masks, surgical masks, gowns and gloves.
Multiple agencies have also responded by offering their support to assist with providing additional staff at the nursing center.
All staff and residents will be tested at Sunny Ridge, thanks to the support of the National Guard and local healthcare and emergency management teams.

The county is urging all individuals who can assist with nursing, LPN, CNA, housekeeping or other tasks needed at Sunny Ridge to call 920-207-7026.
